PaperCut 16.0 has rolled out the door (and a quick bug fix to keep us on our toes).

PaperCut 16.0 comes with a fantastic new feature called Direct Printing. Direct Printing is going to let you print from a computer to a printer without the need for a print server. So now organisations of any size can track and report on printing while keeping configuration, administration and reporting simple. This adheres to PaperCut’s philosophy of supporting any platform and letting PaperCut work for your customer by not forcing the customer to change their infrastructure.

Direct Printing will allow the print job to be processed on the user’s computer. While running a small PaperCut agent, the print job information (not the file) will be sent to the PaperCut Application server for reporting purposes. Direct Printing is ideal for organisations with distributed branches such as post offices, bank branches, petrol stations and retail outlets. The company’s headquarters can track and report on printing using a print server but avoid the cost and maintenance of having one in each branch.

What this will also let you do is combine the “Direct Printing” feature with a “Private Cloud” implementation of PaperCut, thus eliminating the need for any locally based servers. You can easily host PaperCut off-site and the local PCs will process the jobs. No more sending huge data files across the network WAN to be processed on a central server.
